//**CCT310 Group Presentation Criteria **//
- Group presentations involve an oral/visual presentation on particular ideas and concepts you understand **from each of the two readings for that week**. - Interpret these ideas through textual and visual means and share your understanding of how the two authors' works relate to mass communications and to each other in an engaging way. - **YOU MUST NOT PRESENT A SUMMARY OF THE READINGS!!!** The two readings assigned each week have a range of related ideas that may complement or contest each other. - Identify and define select concepts, then highlight and illustrate the relationships and tensions using examples. The presentations should be 40 minutes in length and can follow any creative format you wish, however you must identify the key concepts the authors are proposing, describe how they relate to the examples you incorporate into your presentation, and demonstrate the relationship between the ideas you are presenting to popular culture theory **making specific connections to the course readings.**

i) Practice public speaking skills and **professional presentation techniques ** ii) Learn to **negotiate ** within a group context iii) Learn to summarize and **re-present complex information (some interpretation will be needed) ** and provide interesting and appropriate examples from multiple popular sources iv) Develop multimodal literacy skills through a **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">dynamic **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">visual/oral presentation <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">v) Learn to **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">critically analyze and question what you read **
